When we're anxious, it’s common for our minds to start running at a mile-a-minute. If you're ever caught in a 'worry spiral', try some of these techniques to help reduce anxiety in the moment.

🤔 Can Creative Arts Therapy be Funded under NDIS?

🎨 "Yes! Creative Arts Therapy is funded under the NDIS. It must be undertaken by a Creative Arts Therapist, registered with ANZACATA.

🎨 The participant must have funding allocated for Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living Skills and it must be deemed 'reasonable and necessary'.

🎨 The Therapist will work with the participant to make a plan, conduct sessions in accordance with the goals of the participant and report to the NDIA on progress with the participant in reaching their goals".

🎨 “ART THERAPY uses a variety of art materials and gives you a way to express yourself, not just through words but through art making…(It) is more about the process, than the quality of the end product. It doesn’t need to be aesthetically beautiful. It’s more about what you get out of it, and the meaning you make of the art in the session”.

🎨 “Art, as you know, is a non-verbal process…the ritual of creating a piece of art embodies the person themselves. The direct result of what that person is experiencing in therapy is projected on the paper. Once they’ve created an image, as an Art Therapist, we ask the client to talk about what they’ve created, if they can. If they don’t talk about it, the therapy still works, because it’s such a deep unconscious process’.

🎨 What is Creative Arts Therapy?

Arts Therapists are trained in both creative methods and therapeutic methods to help clients better express themselves and to improve their wellbeing.

‘Creative Arts Therapists are mental health professionals who use art, media and the creative process (drawing, writing, sculpting, drama, clay, sand, dance and movement) to facilitate the exploration of feelings, improve self-awareness and reduce anxiety for clients’.
